Damn I hate that when that happens !

WHY ?
Isn't wearing a kilt enough?
Well a skirt will do in a pinch!
Make mine short and don't you dare think of pinching there !

OK this time around it worked.

Comments running about 99% against this fashion and some are downright nasty #@&^%* !
What is with this fashion movement - nary a smile on the male face - certainly would not pass
muster on the Victoria's Secret runway expo !
AND THE MISMATCHED SOX - left sox with Adias 3 white stripes - right sox plain jane ???
Appears that there is serious competition for the job of court jester !

All in all a terribly poor job of trying to win approval for the male skirt ! This is not helping !

After having had a look see, I would not be caught dead in those outfits. They look stupid and weird. :lol: ..
Just not the items that would foster men wearing skirts.

Looking at the pics I would not wear the one on the left but the one on the right may look a lot better with a mini skirt rather.

Fashion designers aim much more at surprising people and gaining attention than on practical day-to-day clothing.
Courage, conviction, nerve, verve, dash, panache, guts, nuts, balls, gall, élan, stones, whatever. Get some and get skirted.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the what I saw in that photo. I wasn't sure if the photo was meant to mock men in skirts or to highlight some designer's avant-garde conceptualization (the photo brings together a lot of conflicting motifs which could signal artistic endeavor). Again, I wasn't a big fan of what I saw--mostly because it is so altogether awkward--that i couldn't discern the message. I think we're all in agreement that it was not merely click-bait and that it doesn't help our cause.

I guess it's a design by Thom Brown. He had these and similar outfits during the last show. Always a bit extreme but food for thoughts.

Not my cup of tea. I could find LOTS nicer stuff from the women’s side of the store.
I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman.

It is rather strange that the male skirt styles shown on the catwalk are not the style which a male
would dare to wear out on the street........It would seem that the world at large does not care
what a man in skirts wears out on the street ,......But this style of male attire has not hit
the headlines as a new style of male dress.......Speaking personally....I have been interested
in this style of dress for 50 years but the general popularity out on the street has not increased.

The fashion weeks have started. I just now had a peek at the LFWM via vogue.co.uk. With the exception of Artschool either trousers and if skirts/dresses are presented, than worn by women.
